Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Alexa had been helping out with the household chores for sometime now.

Over time, she had become accustomed to the routine and found herself getting attached to the domestic chores, especially with the meal preparation.

On this particular morning, Alexa was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for Anthony and Nolan, the two men who lived in the house. She was greeted by the usual chatter of the housekeeping staff, who were preparing to attend to their respective duties. As she worked, one of the staff members caught her attention.

“Hey, Alexa, we’ve noticed that you and Anthony have been getting quite close lately. Maybe you’re going to be our next Mrs. Brown,” she teased, winking at Alexa.

The comment did not sit well with Alexa, who felt it was improper for a staff member to insinuate such a thing. Before she could respond, another staff member spoke up, drawing gasps from the others. She wondered why they were so keen to hear about her relationship life.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Well, that wouldn’t be surprising. I mean, it seems like some people have been using their charms to worm their way into the Brown family’s wealth,” he said, eyeing Alexa and Anthony.

Alexa was taken aback by the accusation. She was not interested in Anthony for his wealth, nor had she done anything to suggest otherwise. The tension inside the kitchen rose, as the other staff members fell silent, realizing that they may have gone too far.

Ignoring their comments, Alexa continued with her work, trying to keep her calm. However, the staff members were not done yet. One of them, a new hire, spoke up, revealing something that had no business being aired out in the open.

“I saw Anthony and Alexa fooling around in the gym basement and by the pool a few days ago, before Nolan arrived,” she said with a smirk.

Alexa felt her face flush in anger and embarrassment. She couldn’t believe this was happening. The staff members had gone too far.

Just then, Nolan walked into the kitchen, glaring at the staff members, sensing that something was off.

“What is going on here? Why is everyone so tense?” he asked, cutting through the tension with his authoritative voice.

The staff members exchanged uneasy glances before mumbling indistinctly, realizing their mistake.

Alexa felt a pang of relief knowing that Nolan was there to witness the scene. She did not want to let the staff members get away with their behavior. As she thought this, Nolan suddenly spoke up again.

“I hope whatever you were discussing was worth it. Because it’s clear that you all have work to do, and distractions like these won’t help anyone. So let’s get back to work, shall we?” he said matter-of-factly, effectively ending the tense moment.

Alexa let out a breath she didn’t realize was holding, thanking Nolan for speaking up, and went back to her work. She knew that she would have to be careful around the staff members from now on. She couldn’t let them shake her composure.
